I am pleased that all that talk about Bess disappearing at the end of the season has gone. Terrific player, all-rounder in the truest sense.
More good news is that George Hill has, finally, being awarded his County Cap. Another three-dimensional cricketer, a gem, and part of a fine generation of proper Yorkshire cricketers, from Brook, through Hill, Duke, Revis, Bean, Wharton, to Luxton, Cliff, Vagadia and Kelly. That's a lot of good players in a 5 or 6 year period, with more in the pipeline....

yes, some "outsiders" come and join us but I am never sure they get to understand us. I sense with Dom he "gets us" better than most

Our cup overflows with good news this morning in the absence of any actual cricket.
Well done to George Hill, he has certainly done well during his apprenticeship, especially in the County Championship and fully deserves his first team cap.
I hope they manage to make an announcement when play does finally start so he can take a bow and receive some well deserved applause.

Yes. Brook, when available, Hill, Duke, Revis, Bean, Wharton, Luxton, Cliff, Vagadia and Kelly with Bess will be the players who re-set YCCC to the level we all want to see. I would make Tatts Club Captain now and charge him with establishing us as a top county next season.

Great stuff donnylad 👍
Like the suggestion about Tatts. I've admired him re-inventing himself. From batsman to wicketkeeper/batsman and now adding captaincy, man management and motivator to have got the team working together and playing with great team spirit.
Still think there should be a vice-captain and Dom Bess would be my choice for something he's doing already.

Whatever you felt about signing outsiders - and some of my Dad's friends back then had entrenched views - and even whether you rated the players concerned, it is/was clear when both took the field that they had absolute respect for the shirt and planned to give 100%.

Less good news financially in that the hugely optimistic ECB don't seem to have any takers for their projected equity sale for a stake in the '100'.
They are 'happy to wait' and the end of 2025 or early 2026 now looks like the earliest that the Counties may get their much needed cash injections.
It's all getting very financial which is sure to lead to trouble but is way above my expertise.
Hampshire it seems have been warned by the ECB that they could have their stake in the Southern Brave taken away if their sale of Hampshire to the Delhi Capitals owners, GMR group goes through, allowing them to take the 100 franchise through the back door and on the cheap.
Some implications for Yorkshire if Colin Graves gets his demutualisation vote and sells Yorkshire to Sunrisers Hyderabad owners the Sun group.
Money is the root of all evil, so they say.

I think we should get the Graves Trust to write off its loan to YCCC and in return they can have a 49% stake in the franchise based at Headingley.
Northern Graves-diggers?
Yorkshire Costcutters?

I think it's better to have money to get you though those difficult times when there's 'too much month in the pension' - Or because of a scorched-earth policy adopted by a previous chair that means we have no prospect Ashes Tests until the 2030's and a loss of £millions 🐕 ⁶

17 year old quick bowler Alex Wade has signed a 2 year rookie contract with Yorkshire. With all the good news about young batters breaking through it will be nice if we can get a few bowlers able to break into the first team. Cliff I'm sure will have more of a role next season but you can't have enough.

Jafar Chohan is the latest to sign up, he has a new 3 year contract with Yorkshire.
No details of the contract and if it covers just T20 or can we expect him to play in other formats. We will have to see what happens.
This winter he has a contract with the Sydney Sixers to play as an overseas player in the BBL.
Further members of the squad bound for Australia, though not for the Big Bash, include Harry Duke, Will Luxton, Ben Cliff and Noah Kelly.

We will have to see what happens. I suspect they would like him to develop into an all format player - word was he would have played the 50 over stuff this season had he not picked up an unfortunate injury. I think he has potential with the bat to develop into a decent 7 or 8, and whilst right now he would definitely be competing for the second spinner role, maybe in time...
